The Space

The Space is a converted church building that now operates as a performance venue with multiple theatre spaces and a bar on the ground floor. The listed building preserves historic architectural features while accommodating contemporary staging and technical equipment.

The building was originally constructed as a church in 1859 before being transformed into a cultural venue. Its conversion preserved the historic structure while adapting it for contemporary performance and community activities.

The venue hosts regular theatre productions, music performances, and workshops that bring performing arts to the surrounding community. Programming reflects the stories and perspectives of people living in the area.

You can reach this venue via the DLR light rail to Mudchute station, several bus routes including D7, 277, and 135, or the Thames Clipper water service. Multiple transport options make it accessible from different parts of London.

The building retains much of its original church architecture, including period features that give the space its distinctive character. This preservation means every performance unfolds within a historic Grade II listed building.
